1. • • Syringomyelia has several possible causes. Many cases are associated with a Chiari malformation. This is a condition in which brain tissue pushes into the spinal canal. Other causes of syringomyelia include spinal cord tumors, spinal cord injuries and damage caused by swelling around the spinal cord.

   Can Chiari malformation cause syringomyelia?

   • Syringomyelia. Some people with Chiari malformation also develop a condition called syringomyelia. In people with this condition, a cavity or cyst called a syrinx forms within the spinal column. As the syrinx grows, it can press on the nerves and cause pain, weakness and stiffness.

   What is a Chiari malformation?

   • Chiari malformations are often detected coincidently among patients who have undergone diagnostic imaging for unrelated reasons. This malformation occurs during fetal development and is characterized by downward displacement by more than four millimeters, of the cerebellar tonsils beneath the foramen magnum into the cervical spinal canal.

   What is the treatment for Chiari malformations & syringomyelia?

   • Treatment of Chiari malformations and syringomyelia is very dependent on the exact type of malformation, as well as progression in anatomy changes or symptoms. Chiari I malformations that are asymptomatic should be left alone (this involves the majority of Chiari malformations). There is no indication for “prophylactic” surgery on these.

   Mar 20, 2024 · If syringomyelia is caused by brain tissue pushing into the spinal canal, it is called a Chiari malformation. Symptoms generally begin between ages 25 and 40. In some cases, coughing or straining can trigger symptoms of syringomyelia, although neither causes syringomyelia.

   Apr 29, 2024 · Chiari malformation is the leading cause of syringomyelia, although the direct link is not well understood. It is thought to be related to the interference of normal CSF pulsations caused by the cerebellar tissue obstructing flow at the foramen magnum.

    Jun 5, 2020 · Obstruction to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) channels can result in pain and a tendency for fluid cavitation of the spinal cord, called syringomyelia (SM) (Figs 1 - 3). The fluid within the cavities (singular syrinx, plural syringes) is similar to CSF.
